"U.S. Royalty are the newest sonic ambassadors to emerge from the storied streets of Washington, D.C. The band was born in late 2007, birthed from the lifelong musical collaboration of brothers John and Paul Thronley. John, vocals and piano, and Paul, guitar, were raised in a marvelously musical family environment in a house stacked to the rafters with available instruments, inspirational record collections, and often rocking all night as a result of cross-generational jam sessions. After playing together under various monikers since their elementary school days the brothers connected with drummer Luke Adams while all three were sequestered in Indiana as students at Grace College. They bonded over their shared love of legitimately well crafted songs. They championed everything from Oasis to David Bowie to Sam Cooke along with celebrating the classic standards of the 1940s, the automatic touchstones of the 1970s such as Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac, and the au courant vibrations of still viable acts like Sun Kil Moon and Rufus Wainwright."
